PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
In the premium towboat industry, no manufacturer has led the way in innovation like Tigé Boats. With patented hull designs, revolutionary wake surf systems, award-winning features, and an unwavering commitment to luxury boat craftsmanship, Tigé has consistently redefined what's possible on the water.
Since Charlie Pigeon founded the company in 1991 with a vision to challenge industry conventions and create the best watersports boating experience, Tigé has outpaced competitors in enhancing the on-water experience for dedicated wake sports enthusiasts. This achievement stems from both cultural and technical factors: a relentless pursuit of advanced marine engineering perfection paired with an authentic connection to the watersports community they serve.
For 34 years, Tigé Boats has remained a privately owned company. Unlike mass-produced surf boats, each Tigé is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by their expert team. They design, build, and develop their high-performance tow boats based on customer needs rather than shareholder demands. As Charlie points out, this allows them to "prioritize innovation and craftsmanship over quarterly profits", resulting in a user-driven approach that genuinely enhances your day on the water.
Advanced Wake Technology: Tigé's Revolutionary TAPS 3T System & Performance Hull Design
The innovative TAPS 3T system represents Tigé's cutting-edge approach to industry-leading wake technology. At its core, the system features premium plate designs powered by military-grade actuators capable of handling pressure exceeding 3 tons—offering superior durability compared to competing surf systems. The central plate offers precise control over running attitude, planing, and wake shape for various watersports, while the outer plates create powerful surf waves when activated. This innovative wake control system demonstrates why Tigé remains at the forefront of luxury performance boating and leads the way in wake enhancement technology.
The company's renowned Convex V Hull is another essential feature. Curving upward at the transom with a continuous rocker similar to a wakeboard or surfboard, this innovative hull design enables more subtle and accurate trim adjustments, maximizes the impact of TAPS 3T, and provides precise control over running attitude and wake customization. Combined with advanced ballast systems, digital cruise control, and Tigé's user-friendly GO System touchscreen interface, you can transition between perfect surf waves, professional wakeboarding waves, and slalom waves in under five seconds—an unmatched capability in the high-performance towboat industry.
Tigé Boats are designed to deliver cutting-edge innovation without compromising on ease of use. What makes these boats truly exciting is how they combine outstanding wake performance with intuitive, push-button control systems—making them equally rewarding for weekend watersport enthusiasts and professional wake athletes. With seven models across three product lines, there's ample opportunity to find a boat that feels personalized and tailored to your luxury boating preferences.

Other impressive features include the Ultré XL SolidShade for more coverage than ever before, the UltréAudio Premium Sound System, the Ultré RGB lighting package, the Level-Up Power Platform, the Inflate High-Pressure Air Pump, enhanced Electric Steering, and more, so you can boat with ease. Available in 23 or 25-foot models, the flagship Ultré ZX Class represents the elite standard for luxury inboard surf boats.
Customer satisfaction has always been central to Tigé Boats' philosophy. This is reinforced by the brand's heritage, the strong resale value of its used boats, and its industry-leading warranty coverage. The company's collection of prestigious marine industry awards further validates this commitment.
For the 20th time, Tigé Boats was awarded the prestigious NMMA Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Award, a record-setting achievement unmatched by any other inboard manufacturer. This milestone underscores Tigé’s unwavering commitment to customer service excellence and the best quality in the luxury marine industry.
As first-time Tigé owner Sean M. from Moses Lake, Washington, puts it: "The entire Tigé experience was great. From the dealer to the techs at the shop and the wonderful follow-up, it was all first-class. Tigé is luxury, power, technology, and performance—all at a top-tier level. I highly recommend visiting your local dealer!"
